electech1 - Thank you very much for your comment. I feel very negligent that I didn't mention or notice this before - I got a Magnavox brand converter box from the gov. The remote has a button called "audio" that I don't know how to use or what its for. That could be my problem! I cannot seem to raise or lower the sound with the remote. As far as I know, I can only do that with buttons on my TV. This sounds crazy - can you still help me?electech1 - Thank you very much for your comment.

It's as though you are thinking my thoughts . . . Were there different grades of converter boxes (CB)? I got my CB at Walmart. My CB remote does not have anything marked VOL + or - ; only channel + and -. It has channel up and down; Alt.CH; Display; Setup; Still; Audio; EPG; Return; ok; and Standby-On. I checked the converter box with a flashlight and there are no buttons or levers that deal with audio. I'm at my wit's end! Any further ideas? On yes, there is no mute button anywhere.It's as though you are thinking my thoughts . . . Were there different grades of converter boxes (CB)? I got my CB at Walmart.

Oh, I'm so glad you haven't tossed me into the wind! I'll try to answer your questions as best I can. In the "Setup Wizard 2/6", it does give me 2 choices: 1) "Autio Out: connecting STB and TV via Audio Cable; and 2) Connecting STB and TV via RF Cable". I have it setting on the first one for whatever reason. Am connected to box by coax - only the white and yellow jacks came with box - no red . . . which might have worked but I thought the other way would work better. (I might have been wrong). In "my" setuip menu, you cannot select mono or stereo (think I must have a lemon!) The model number on the box is: E175216. Thanks soooooo much for your help!Oh, I'm so glad you haven't tossed me into the wind! I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

Hi there! Glad to see you back. Everyone needs to rant from time to time. People are rude, and sometimes they just dont' know what to do.

Which is where I am right now. I can't figure out how I got to the place I got to last nite where I can change to the RF cable! Don't call me a doo doo bird! Can you get me started? Hit "setup" and then what? Oh yes, I am very much wanting your help, and I thank you!!!Hi there! Glad to see you back. Everyone needs to rant from time to time.

Ever since we plugged the stupid box in....I feel like I am hard of hearing. We cannot get the volume to go highEver since we plugged the stupid box in....I feel like I am hard of hearing. We cannot get the volume to go high

ok , look on the converter box remote for up / down buttons that are labled " VOL " short for " volume" should look simular to channel up / down buttonsok , look on the converter box remote for up / down buttons that are labled " VOL " short for " volume" should look simular to channel up / down buttons

also it is possible that the "mute button" may have been hit on the converter box remote.

sometimes the volume buttons and the channel buttons will also have a + and - sign on them to indicate up and downalso it is possible that the "mute button" may have been hit on the converter box remote.

wow! I have the zenith and digital streams converter boxes and both of these remotes have the volume control buttons

but ok back to your audio , are you connected to the box by coax antenna or are you using the yellow video jack and red and white audio jacks( RCA jacks) ? also in the setup menu you can check the audio options they have for you in there , ( mono and stereo )

also could you give me a model number on that converter box ?

you really seem to honestly want the help and that is why I will help you till you get this setup the way you want it , I was just ready to finish up helping those who I have started to help and then I will no longer be giving my free help here , most people are just rude and act like I am getting paid for helping , when I do this for free , then when I give them the info they need , they just give me a bad rating , here is an example of the many rude http://www.fixya.com/support/t1509997-no...

sorry for the rant , well it seems that your box then does not have the stereo red and white rca jacks( left and right )

and the setting in your setup menu will need to be changed to the RF cable because you are using the coax cable ( RF ) connection and not the RCA jacks( audio and video jack connection) , so switch that to the RF cable ( radio frequency) and let me know if the audio is better

well i don't know how all the new boxes(cb's) setup or menus will look like or have for option name discription of the setup names , but they should be somewhat the same , like functions or output,audio/ video , connection type ,

but you mentioned here ," In the "Setup Wizard 2/6", it does give me 2 choices: 1) "Autio Out: connecting STB and TV via Audio Cable; and 2) Connecting STB and TV via RF Cable". I have it setting on the first one for whatever reason. Am connected to box by coax"

so in the setup wizard 2/6 , is that 2nd menu choice of 6 choices?

is where you will need change it to the # 2) Connecting STB and TV via RF Cable".

the audio cable to tv selection from your box means that you would have to use the video cable also and your tv would have to be set to the video input , and not channel 3 for the RF cable

let me know if that helps to find that setting ,

and thank you for the rating, I thought I will probably still help every now and then here , just not as much and i will not care about the rating , just the fact that i am helping someone .

if you need to , let me know some of the setup names , so i can point you to that option you were atwell i don't know how all the new boxes(cb's) setup or menus will look like or have for option name discription of the setup names , but they should be somewhat the same , like functions or output,audio/ video , connection type ,

oh I also wanted to say that if you have the RF cable connected then don't have the( audio and video) white and yellow RCA jacks plugged in

and if you decied to have the yellow video and white audio , then the white audio should be in the white audio input on the tv and the tv audio will be mono out both speakers ,( if your tv has two speakers in it ), also the RF cable should be disconnected

the reason for a video and audio RCA jack connection ( and other types of connection that seperate Audio and Video ( A/V ) , is that seperating the video signal from the audio signal will give you better quality of video and audiooh I also wanted to say that if you have the RF cable connected then don't have the( audio and video) white and yellow RCA jacks plugged in

Ok This is what I found out and hopefully found your solution..
Have you heard of Double Rescan?
The Federal Communication Comission Designed a Process called double rescan.
Double Rescanning erases and thenreprograms the channels in the converter box an digital TVs memory.
To Double Rescan, you will first need to disconnect the antenna from the converter box or antenna.
Then disconnect the converter and or digital tv power supplies from the wall. Wait a minute before plugging them back in. The antenna should still be disconnected.
With the antenna disconnected run the channel scan function on the coverter box or digital tv. When the scan completes you will have completely removed any channel data the converter box or digital tv, had in its memory.
Now it's time to rescan for real.
Do this by reconnecting the antenna to the converter box or digital tv and running the channel scan function again.
Thus the double rescan is born.
If the double rescan doesn't work, then try some tips and tricks to get your converter box up and running..I will have to look up the url again that has the tips and tricks...
If the double rescan doesn't work let me know and I will look up more options..
I really hope this works..

I assume the Panasonic is a TV. I have never heard of green audio outputs. Audio outputs should be red and white (for RCA plugs). There are adapters available that convert the yellow, red and white component outputs to HDMI. You can get them at GameStop (I bought one recently to connect a game system for my daughter). If you have a TV converter box from your cable or satellite provider you might be able to connect the audio out on the cable box to your Technics receiver and run a HDMI to the TV (be sure to turn off the TV's internal speakers through the TV's menu) for video.

If you get good audio on most and then low or very low audio on certain channels then call you cable company and have them inspect this problem. It is their business to get both good video and audio to you.

check out this diagram, paying close attention to the audio video cable hookups.

assume the cable tv box represents the converter box

you are going to come out of the converter box audio and video outputs into the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo audio and video inputs.

Then out of the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo outputs to the inputs on the tv if it has such inputs. The TV will have to operate on the video input 1 or 2 if the tv has such a thing, use the remote for the tv to adjust the input signal to line in 1 or 2 depending on what it has.

If the tv has no coaxial input or audio video inputs then you might have to use an adapter, you can get these from radio shack.

You say it will not record from the tv, but in all actuality the dvd vcr combo is getting the signal from the converter box not the tv, do you understand what I mean here?

So the dvd vcr combo gets input from the converter box so you will have to set it to view signal from the line input you have plugged in from the converter box. line 1 or 2 or whatever the input is.

the tv will have to be set on the line input to view the signal from the dvd vcr combo.

That is as easy as I can put it. Study the diagram closely. You will see what I mean.

you will need to hook your signal to the converter box then into your vcr and then into your TV. Now if your vcr has signal out then you will not have any problems hooking your tv up to the vcr. You may have to use the audio out to get the right sound with your tv.
